I played today and was 1 over gross for the first 7 holes. I then started to loose concentration and not play too well.

Now, walking down the 8th i started getting hungry and had a granola bar. From then onwards i seemed to go off the boil. This seems to always happen to me. As soon as i eat or get hungry i loose focus.

So my question

Should i start eating going down the first? Not eat a tall? Bearing in mind i had porridge and toast before i went out and was full.

I don't like taking the time to eat at the turn, I prefer to have some sort of breakfast and "fuel up" before the start of the round. BUT, sometimes I'll grab a dog and a beer at the turn if I didn't have time for breakfast. The club I grew up playing at had a turn shack similar to Caddy Shack, burgers/dogs, etc, and picnic tables to eat at. If the group behind you didn't want to stop and eat, they just played through, It worked fine. Everyone just cooperated to the extent necessary to keep things moving. That type of cooperation seems to be a thing of the past.

Eat Two hours before a round. Snack during around. Energy and nutrients from food stock is not an instant fix. It takes time to convert raw nutrient in to useful energy. Don't let your eating be about filling the tank once it is empty but rather maintaining a constant energy and nutrient level.
